Clan Tasks: New challenges for Brothers in Arms. In other languages: Update: Clan tasks are now available! TL;DR - 0-Skill crew HALVES the XP required to grind your perks (or doubles the rate at which a crew acquires all skills/perks) A zero skill crew is a crew member that has been trained with the Brothers in Arms (BiA) or Sisterhood of Steel (SoS) perk, at no experience cost. (Brothers in Arms was combined to work with Sisterhood of Steel in update 9.19). In June 1941, near the Lithuanian town of Raseiniai, roughly 20 KV tanks of the Soviet 3rd Mechanized Corps met the assault of the 6th Panzer Division, with approximately 100 vehicles. A single KV-2 tank managed to hold off the German advance for a full day while being pummeled by a variety of antitank weapons, until finally the KV-2 ran out of. The entire crew must have the brothers in arms perk at 100% for it to become effective. If only one has the perk, it does nothing but take up a perk slot. The effect is a 5% bonus to crew effectiveness. This pushes them above 100%.

Developer Q&A
And now, over to PAINGOD from the development team in Wargaming Chicago-Baltimore!
When will the next large balance update take place? Wasn't the previous one during the last October?
- [PAINGOD] We are evaluating tank balance now for next update, 4.11.
Will we see the Emil 1951 Premium tank this year?
- [PAINGOD] Yes, it is coming to console later this year.
Are you planning to nerf the absolution?
Wot Brothers In Arms Medal
- [PAINGOD] Not currently. It is pretty perfect in terms of skill popularity and a very even power graph across all skill levels of players.
Wot Brothers In Arms
Could we get some data about War Stories?
- [PAINGOD] Sure
- 2.6 Million users have played War Stories since launch
- 43 Million War Story battles played
- Most popular War Story - Brothers in Armor - 21.5 Million Battles
- Top 5 Chapters:
- Brothers in Armor - Chapter 1 - 12 Million Battles
- Operation Sealion - Chapter 1 - 2.6 Million Battles
- Flashpoint Berlin - Chapter 1 - 2.6 Million Battles
- Brothers in Armor - Chapter 3 - 4.6 Million Battles
- Brothers in Armor - Chapter 2 - 4.7 Million Battles
Any plans to update the sounds? Like the reload?
- [PAINGOD] We have done lots of updates to the sound FX over time. Can you be more specific of what you are looking for?
Now that the Ops Tab is pretty much divided into Gold Ops(always active) and Boost Ops, yet still retains the 0/3 Active text, can we get the chance to stack different types of Boosts? Obviously it’s too good to allow stacking X3/X5/X4 XP boosts, but allowing a combination of XP, Silver, and Crew XP boosts would be pretty nice.
- [PAINGOD] That’s actually a good idea. I’ll have a ticket filed to look into how feasible that is. Thanks.
